First and foremost, how the HELL is it Christmas already!?! I know that’s a painfully cliched thing to say. Not to mention something you’ve already had pointless conversations about with every friend/family member/colleague/uber driver/human that you’ve encountered over the past few weeks. But seriously, wasn’t it August just the other day!? Not complaining though. For one thing, I’m pretty happy to see the back of 2017 and very excited for the year to come. More importantly, the arrival of peak festive season makes dressing up in the sparkliest, glammest, most…

Happy Monday mes amies! It sure as hell has been rather a long time since I last posted… Yeah, sorry about that. There are actually pretty legit reasons for the radio silence and a lot of exciting new things to come but those are subjects for another time. For now, let’s talk about this outfit. Given that Halloweek is still underway (yup, as fas as I’m concerned it lasts a solid seven days) you could be forgiven for thinking that this ensemble is a sixties themed costume. The miniskirt, the…

What: pink Kenzo skirt & Commes Des Garçons T-Shirt (via Farfetch) Where: Out and about in London As Coco Chanel famously said; “fashion fades, only style remains”. It’s a quote so well known and parroted it’s become cliche. The fact that it’s been plastered everywhere on everything from coasters and makeup bags to coffee table tomes and more other random objects than I could even begin to list. Regardless, the statement remains relevant, true and widely applicable today. Even to this outfit, no matter how much Mademoiselle Chanel would loathe…

Can you actually believe that I managed not to give this Look Du Jour a nautical themed name?! As many of you probably already know all too well, I have a long standing obsession with all things nautical. An obsession that has resulted in my owning at least twenty-six sailor striped tees and sporting an anchor tattoo on my right buttock, true story. Let’s not even go into the ingrained need to uniform level colour co-ordinate at all times, even when jet lagged, hungover or bed bound with flu. Anyway,…

Ok, so maybe I’m a leeeeetle late to the party on this one but sometimes it takes you a while to warm up to a trend… Or, being totally honest, fit into your super tight FRAME Denim cropped kick flares after a Christmas season spent over indulging in everything except trips to the gym. Anyway, back to the denim. This particular breed of jean has been E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E for a while now and I’ve finally jumped on board the cropped kick flare bandwagon. I promise this entire post won’t be an…

Holy hell this year is going fast, how is it almost June already!?! Not that I’m really complaining, June is an excellent month. My birthday, the official start of summer, my birthday, parties galore, my birthday, racing season… Oh and did I mention, my birthday? Maybe once… But believe it or not my annual excuse to behave like the nightmare lovechild of P Diddy and Paris Hilton is not the subject of this post, that’s a tale for another day, maybe. I am in fact going to talk about a…

I’ve managed to just about avoid raving about the arrival of Spring for at least two posts now, so I reckon it’s ok to indulge start doing so again, plus this post basically requires me to do so. Annoyingly, the weather in London seems to have other ideas and has been rather very cold and grey of late but I’ll be damned if the threat of pneumonia or worse, purple knees, will stop me from dressing in SS17 attire. Especially when the sunseeking delights in question are quite as delightful…

I absolutely cannot and will not spend yet another post talking about how happy I am that Spring appears to be here, but damn it’s hard to resist. Repeating the excuse that it’s “because I’m British” really doesn’t make repeatedly raving about the sunshine any less dull so let’s focus on something else today. That thing will be Charlotte Olympia’s gorgeous “Wish You Were Here” collection. Ahhh Charlotte Olympia, I could not be more head over heels in love with everything they design. Pineapple shaped clutch bags, banana platforms, leaf…

Spring is HERE people and so are my latest Monthly Must Haves! Do you know what else is definitely very much present? My current obsession with all things noughties, hence the full on baby pink Juicy Couture tracksuit. But if channelling Paris Hilton circa 2004 isn’t your vibe still stick around. There’s also a dream al fresco cocktail ensemble in this season’s hottest hue on the cards plus a doubled up fringed suede situation… enjoy!

Oh London, you absolute swine. Every single Spring you taunt us with the odd sunny surprise making it all the more upsetting when we wake up to pissing rain and winter-coat-necessary level cold the next morning. The day I wore this outfit was of course, one of the aforementioned sunny surprises… FML that sounds like a potential name for a really awful “fruit flavoured” children’s drink, one that never actually got used because it was that awful… Ok picking up where we left off before that highly unnecessary tangent, like…

London Fashion Week AW17, let’s go! Prepare yourselves, this post is a pretty long one… As you may know from my previous LFW post, day two kicked off with Markus Lupfer and Julien Macdonald. This should have been a smooth running operation given our meticulously planned schedule (there was a shared Google spreadsheet, I kid you not) and the fact we had the Mercedes G Wagen at our disposal. But of course, life happened. By “life” I mean an emergency trip home necessitated by deeply unglamorous domestic responsibilities… Urgh. So,…
